This study was of adolescent males about their musical self-perceptions and experiences in one Austrian school’s choral music programme. Participants who sang continuously in the school choir reported experiences consistent with flow theory. In contrast, participants who withdrew said that their school choral experiences lacked challenge levels commensurate with their interests and skills and that they wished for greater opportunities for autonomy and control. Participants who never sang in school choir lacked older male singing role models, an element consistent with the theory of possible selves. The study findings reflect those of previous research at The London Oratory. The article closes with implications for research and pedagogy.

奥地利男性在学校合唱音乐中的“歌唱是我的超能力”经历


这项研究针对的是青春期男性，关于他们的音乐自我认知和在一所奥地利学校的合唱音乐课程中的经历。在学校合唱团中持续唱歌的参与者报告的经历与心流理论一致。相比之下，退出的参与者表示，他们的学校合唱经历缺乏与他们的兴趣和技能相称的挑战水平，他们希望有更多的自主和控制机会。从未在学校合唱团唱歌的参与者缺乏年长的男性歌唱榜样，这一要素与可能的自我理论一致。该研究结果反映了伦敦演讲厅之前的研究结果。文章最后给出了对研究和教育学的启示。
